Police seize paraphernalia, weapons

Drugs and guns were seized and one man arrested following a bust by Salt Lake police early Thursday.

Detectives conducting surveillance in the area of 500 East and 2000 South stopped a suspicious vehicle and discovered the occupants were at a mobile home with the goal of buying drugs, said Salt Lake police detective Jeff Bedard.

Investigators went to the mobile home to question the owner, who allowed all non-uniformed officers to enter, he said. Officers spotted a crack pipe, which gave them enough evidence to obtain a search warrant for the rest of the trailer.

Three rifles and "numerous rounds" of ammunition were found.

Johnny "J-Bo" Cowper, 37, was arrested for investigation of drug possession with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm by a restricted person.
